The way in which we react or respond to the pain of our losses can have important implications for ourselves and our lives.
This DVD represents a research-informed video case study of Kate who is trying to cope with four major experiences of bereavement and loss. It contains an emotionally powerful counselling session in which the counselling psychologist Anthony Crouch helps Kate to begin to tolerate her pain, develop a spark of hope for the future and identify key therapeutic goals.
In the DVD Anthony also provides four commentaries that are informed by the very latest research: commentaries on both the session and the subsequent review together with an introduction to both loss and bereavement and the factors that contribute to therapeutic change. In this latter commentary Anthony examines how the latest research on therapeutic factors challenges the traditional medical model of treatment-focused change.
This DVD goes to the very heart of the counselling experience and demonstrates how research-informed counselling can support a client to bear the pain of loss and achieve profound therapeutic change. It will, therefore, engage a wide range of practitioners and students, not only in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, but also in the broader health and social care sector.

The GriefWork Companion contains worksheets, quotations, educational and journaling pages. It is a user-friendly book and self-help resource. We live in a society where people are expected to get over their loss quickly and we understand this is not realistic. We know there are many ways that people grieve and we support each person’s right to grieve in an individual and unique fashion. Everyone experiences loss. The process of coping with a significant loss is what the authors call grief work. The typical range of behaviors, emotions, and attitudes is varied. Through out the book it is emphasized that everyone’s grief has a unique expression. Use those exercises that seem appropriate and relevant for you. It is also a companion book for mental health professionals’ clients to use in conjunction with GriefWork—Healing from Loss. Activities can be assigned knowing that the page number will correspond to the same page in the facilitator’s book, GriefWork, and that the instructions to the client will be readily understood. Clients will appreciate having therapeutic support at home and having all their materials in one place. Seven chapters guide the reader through the grieving process: Let's Get Started, Getting in Touch, Telling Your Story, Self-Care, Relationships, Special Days, A New Normal. The GriefWork Companion also coordinates with the GriefWork Group Starter Card Game, thereby appealing to those who learn in several ways.

Whether you have cared for your loved one for one year or many, when it ends, it will feel abrupt. The life and routine that have become yours, suddenly comes to an end with a finality that is painful on many levels. You have become a different person during your caregiving experience, yet you haven't had time to realize who that person is. Your focus was on someone else, and the thought of shifting that focus to yourself – may be scary. However, exploring who you are, now, as well as what you learned about yourself – and about life itself – during your caregiving experience can be an experience full of discovery and adventure ...

Segments include:

A New Beginning – There is a natural sense of loss when the need for our caregiving is over. We face the double sorrow of the death of our loved one as well as the ending of our primary purpose and role in life. It is important to acknowledge our grief and complicated feelings.

A New Normal – Part of the experience of after caregiving is to find a "new normal". Many factors go into the development of new identity after the death of a loved one. It is okay to feel inadequate, overwhelmed, and to ask for help in facing the unfamiliar.

New Life Discoveries – As we walk through the process of rebuilding our lives we find that life may turn out to be completely different, new, even exciting. It is important to give ourselves permission to experience these things and be willing to look toward the future.
